The Introduction of Tungsten Alloy in Industrial Shielding

Tungsten alloy is an ideal solution for industrial shielding applications because it is a strong durable material, which can withstand harsh environments and has excellent radiation attenuation characteristics.

Within the industrial sector there are a variety of applications for high energy radiation sources including:
1.Industrial radiography / Non-destructive testing (NDT) - to detect faults in pipelines and metal components and structures;
2.Process control and flow monitoring - to measure thickness, density or flow levels during manufacturing processes;
3.Cargo scanners - advanced gamma ray inspection systems are used to inspect objects in shipping containers;
4.Oil and gas exploration - geo-logging techniques use gamma rays to analyse rock strata and reveal potential deposits of oil or gas.

In all these applications tungsten shielding is used to protect personnel from exposure to harmful radiation, whilst tungsten collimators are used to focus the radiation beams onto the target areas to provide accurate information to the user.

The benefits of tungsten for industrial shielding including:1.excellent radiation attenuation;2.reduced physical thickness of shield and collimators without compromising shielding efficiency;3.non-toxic;4.can be machined to tight tolerances;5.tough and durable, suitable for harsh environments;6.no special handling or disposal requirements.
